Brock's seven CIRA Ontario banners.

Call it Lucky No. 7.

Brock University has its seventh CIRA Ontario Outstanding Intramural Achievement banner.

The University was recognized yet again for providing a stellar intramural experience to students, giving 6,800 Badgers the chance to play the usual sport suspects like volleyball, or the off-beat, such as innertube water polo, underwater hockey and ultimate Frisbee.

In all, 52 competitive and recreational activities were offered, with two new leagues added to the roster: tchouckball and extreme intramurals, which combined, saw nearly 30 teams and 200 people participate.

“The most rewarding part of Intramurals is the fact that students and staff from all over the campus choose to participate. Our program sees students in all faculties participate,” Megan Locker, intramural program co-ordinator wrote in the award application.

“What makes Brock Intramurals outstanding is the fact that all participants are given plenty of opportunities to meet other students while participating in sports they may or may not have played before on campus.”

That sentiment was echoed by students, who wrote letters of support for the University.

“Getting involved with intramurals really made all the difference to my time at Brock and it really made me want to encourage others to do the same,” one student wrote. “I look forward to continuing the remainder of my years at Brock with the intramural program and
seeing just how much fun we can have.”
